Team Falcons knew they would lose to Team Spirit at Riyadh Masters 2025: statement from Malr1ne

Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak, Team Falcons midlaner, said that he and other players on his team did not believe they could beat Team Spirit in the Riyadh Masters 2025 Grand Final, so they are not surprised by the result.

The pro player said in his Telegram channel.

"Hi everyone. Riyadh Masters 2025 is over for us. I'll be honest: I'm not a bit upset that we lost. For me, it was expected. I'm not belittling myself and my team right now. It's just that we all realized that we were a little behind the meta and only catching up. But somehow we managed to get into the top 2. I'm proud of the team and our progress. Team Spirit is just a head taller, nothing worked against her"

Malr1ne said that he didn't mean to disparage Team Falcons with his statement, but only to say that he and the other players knew that they were lucky to get this far in the tournament, and their form wasn't up to the level of the grand finals.

He said that the team will try to perform better at The International 2025 to make Dota 2 history. Now, emphasized the cybersportsman, Team Falcons are going to rest after a huge expenditure of effort and nerves at the tournament.

Recall that earlier Collapse admitted that he was able to steal Aegis thanks to the new customization, thanking Valve.
